    The IP rating system specifies protection levels for electrical equipment against solid objects, water, and direct human contact. The two-digit IP code indicates protection, with the first digit referring to solid object protection and the second referring to water protection. Ratings range from IP0 (unprotected) to IP6 (dust tight) for the first digit and IP0 (unprotected) to IP8 (protected against extended water immersion) for the second digit. Additional letters may indicate higher levels of personal protection against live parts contact.
